The Labour Party successfully announced their latest campaign promise- amid ongoing interruptions from political protestors.
Labour's announced free dental care for under 30s - coming into force in stages from 2025.
It's also promised to increase the dental course cap by 50 percent to grow the workforce.
However, Prime Minister Chris Hipkins' speech was hijacked and derailed by Freedoms NZ supporters interrupting the announcement multiple times.
ZB Political Editor Jason Walls says this was an 'undemocratic' move from Freedoms NZ, as blockading the venue and interrupting Hipkins was a step too far.
